System Attribute of folders

[John Bee]

Hi;

All this talk about hidden and system attribute hiding/showing has reminded me of a wish I had wanted to bring up but had forgotten.

I use a program called IconFolders to change/recolor folder icons of certain folders, to make them stand out from the others. MyDocuments is blue, Anti-virus is red my NetDLoads folder has a special icon, etc.

In order for these changed folder icons to show properly, the system attribute of the folder has to be set on.

Bringing up F12/Properties for a folder in XY, the attribute checkbox for System is there but is greyed out. Any way to ungrey this so I can set it?

Then I don't need IconFolders to do this anymore. (I'll be able to get rid of another program.)

John (Thanks)

Yes, the way is to ungrey it.

Code: Select all

    + Info Panel/Properties: now the (file attributes) System checkbox 
      is enabled. So you can set/unset the SYSTEM flag of items at will. 
      Handle with care, since the SYSTEM flag is rather supposed to be set 
      by the system, not by the user...
